At the start of the campaign, which will run up until Wednesday, January 1, Chief Inspector Al Barby said: "The steps we are taking collectively this year are meant to ensure that the anti-drink and drug drive message reaches more people than ever before but that we also increase the chances of stopping the stubborn minority who ignore it.

"The campaign artwork mirrors a recent Scottish campaign and says in a very effective way that having none for the road is the only safe option.

"We all know of the profound impact that driving after drinking or taking drugs can have on people, and so we will be working to ensure that those who ignore this advice will be targeted.

"It is important that those people understand the consequences of their actions."
